�Young master Cale Henituse, thank you for coming. I thought that you would be the best choice to accompany me to the Empire.�

Cale lightly hugged Alberu as if he was honored and started to speak.

�Your highness, although I may be lacking, I am glad that I will be able to help out the kingdom.�

The middle-aged diplomat who came with Alberu started to speak with a satisfied expression after hearing Cale�s response.

�No wonder his highness thinks so highly of you. Your thoughts for the kingdom are deep.�

�Thank you for thinking of me so highly. As a noble, it is only natural to think about the kingdom and its citizens at all times.�

The diplomat who was the leader of the envoy was satisfied with Cale�s response. The diplomat started to speak.

�I came to see what kind of person his highness wanted by his side, but it looks like there was no need for me to come.�

Alberu had personally recommended Cale Henituse for this envoy. Since Cale was just the son of a common noble, the diplomat had come to inspect Cale.

Cale and Alberu made eye contact with each other at that moment. The crown prince confidently responded back.

�He is young master Silver Shield. I told you that he is a noble person and that there is no need to worry.�

Young master Silver Shield.

Cale started to frown.

�That is true! I saw that silver shield with my own eyes! That was really amazing, young master Cale.�

�It was nothing. I just used some of my worthless power.�

�Bad! How could you call it worthless! I hope the chance to see that shield again appears in the future! Hahahaha.�

There was warmth in the diplomat�s gaze, as if he was looking at the future of the kingdom. Cale smiled as well and touched the back of his head.

�So weird. Why is the back of my head getting cold as I listen to this diplomat talk?�

The back of Cale�s neck continued to feel chilly even though he was thinking that there will be no reason for him to use the shield again in the future.

However, things progressed smoothly despite Cale�s chilly neck.

� Human, standing still is fun too.

Cale slightly nodded his head at Raon�s comment.

�Of course. Standing still is the best.�

A mountain is a mountain and water is water. Cale followed the envoy around with the crown prince in the center like the water of a river running down the path. (It�s a Buddhist sutra that I�m not really sure why it was used in this situation. ) JrNovels.com
